- the reference position can thus be a position in which the section of passage of the fluid in the first channel is maximum or minimum.
- the actuating wheel can rotate, in the second phase, in the same direction of rotation as in the first phase immediately preceding it.
- a first phase when the switch flap pivots from the first configuration to a closed position, the metering flap is only subject to slight pivoting, starting from a reference position. In this way, the dosing flap remains in a position close to the reference position which does not substantially modify the fluid passage section in the first channel, when the switch flap pivots to reach a closed position.
- the actuating wheel then continues to rotate in the same direction, this continuation of the rotation allowing the fluid to be regulated in the first channel without preventing the switch flap from remaining in the closed position he has reached.

- At least one component comprising the guiding member, in particular the first lever, the actuating system of the metering flap and the guide piece of the actuating system of the switching flap may be separate and rigidly coupled together.
- At least one component comprising the guide member, in particular the first lever, the actuating system of the metering flap and the guide piece of the actuating system of the switching flap may be formed of a single and even piece.
- the actuating wheel cooperates with the guide piece of the actuating system of the switching flap by a first zone of said wheel and the actuating wheel is opposite the common end of the first and second levers of the guide member of the actuating system of the metering flap by a second zone of said wheel, different from the first zone.
- first zone and the second zone may have different radial positions and / or different angular positions, and / or in the case where the actuating wheel has two parallel opposite faces, be positioned on different faces of said wheel.
- the interface piece of the actuating system of the switching flap can be configured to define a guide path of the guide piece with which it cooperates.
- the guide path may be formed by a blind groove formed in said interface piece, said guide piece resting in the blind groove when the switch flap is in the intermediate position.
- said guide piece can exert, when it rests in the groove and under the effect of a rotation of the actuating wheel, a thrust on said interface piece to rotate the switch flap.
- the actuating system of the switching flap may comprise a holding piece of the interface piece of said actuating system, said holding member being rigidly coupled with the actuating wheel.
- said holding piece and said interface piece may comprise complementary surfaces, so that the cooperation between these complementary surfaces holds said interface piece in position during a displacement of said guide piece, whereas the shutter switch is in one or the other of the shutter positions.
- said complementary surfaces may be arcs of substantially the same radius radius.
- the guide path may be formed by a guide housing formed in the guide piece of the actuating system of the switch flap, said guide housing having two opposite lateral edges against which said piece of guidance selectively comes into contact, when the switch flap pivots to one another shutter positions.

- FIGS. 4a to 4h , and 5a to 5f illustrate the actuating system of the metering flap 12 and the actuating system of the switching flap 10.
- the switching flap 10 is rotated by means of a mechanism of the "Maltese cross" type, the principle of which is based on a discontinuous rotation of an object in the form of a Maltese cross by means of a rotation. continuing of a driving piece interacting with said object.
- the object in the form of Maltese cross is an interface piece 26, which has been secured to the flap 10.
- This interface piece 26 comprises two parallel arms 27 between them a groove 28 defining a guide path, as will be seen later, and two lateral protuberances 29, each of said protrusions 29 being placed on each side of the longitudinal axis of the groove 28.
- each arm 27 and an excrescence 29 placed on the same side with respect to the longitudinal axis of the groove 28 are connected to each other by an arcuate surface 30.
- the interface piece 26 has a base 31 aligned on the longitudinal axis of the groove 28, the axis connecting the two protrusions 29 separating said base 31 and the two arms 27. In this way, each arm 27 has an end implanted in the base 31, and a another end that is free.
- the flap 10 has an axis of rotation 14 enabling it to pivot between the two closed positions of the two channels 9, 11, the interface piece 26 being rigidly fixed to one end of the flap 10 via said base 31 More specifically, the interface piece 26 is fixed to the flap 10 so that the base 31 of the interface piece 26 is traversed by the axis of rotation 14 of the flap 10. Thus, the rotation of the interface piece 26 simultaneously causes the rotation of the flap 10 about its axis of rotation 14 with the same angle.
- the actuating system of the switching flap 10 comprises a guide piece 32, here a pin attached to the actuating wheel 16 and on which cooperates in the example described a ball bearing .

- This other wheel 33 is disposed in the central zone of the actuating wheel 16.
- the other wheel 33 emerges from the plane of the wheel 16 in a perpendicular direction, and thus creates an extra thickness.
- the cross section of the other wheel 33 which is perpendicular to its axis of rotation, has a circular contour on more than half of its circumference, and a recess delimited by a curved section connecting the partial circular contour to close said section.
- the actuating wheel 16 rotates progressively in the direction shown by the arrow 23 at the figure 3c , this direction of rotation being representative of the views from below, that is to say for the Figures 4c , 4th and 4g .
- the Figures 4c and 4d , 4th and 4f , 4g and 4h represent the state of the flaps 10 and 12 for angular positions of the actuating wheel respectively at values of 40 °, 60 ° and 172 °.
- the shutter 10 reaches the shutter position of the channel 11.
- the actuating wheel 16 can continue its rotation so that a segment 30 in a circular arc of the workpiece interface 26 bears against the retaining piece 33, and more specifically against the outer surface of the cylindrical portion of said piece 33.
- This retaining piece 33 helps to keep the switch flap 10 in a closed position of FIG. the track 11, bearing against an arcuate segment 30 of the interface piece 26.
- the actuating wheel 16 can also be rotated in the opposite direction from its reference position, namely in the direction shown by the arrow 25 of the figure 3e , this direction of rotation being representative of the views from below that is to say for the figures 5a , 5c and 5th , in order to allow the switching flap 10 to close the way 9. All that has been described above concerning the kinematic pivoting of the shutter 10 to close the channel 11, also remains valid when said flap 10 closes the way 9.

- FIGS. 4a and 4b represent respectively in view from below and from above, the first configuration of the actuating device 15.
- the first phase of the rotation of the actuating wheel 16 in one direction, from its reference position, makes it possible to rotate simultaneously the switching flap 10, so that it comes into a closed position of the way 11, and the metering flap 12 so that it slightly opens slightly allowing a passage of insignificant gas in the way 2.
- the switching flap 10 reaches the closed position of the channel 11.
- the actuating wheel 16 continues in the second phase its rotation in the same direction, to gradually open the metering flap 12 to regulate the passage of recirculated gases in the track 2, while maintaining the shutter 10 in its closed position, thanks to the retaining piece 33 of the actuating wheel 16, against which the interface piece 26 comes into abutment.
- the opening of the metering flap 12 is effected by a pivoting around its axis 13 of the metering flap 12, and allows the gas to flow in the output path 2 of the EGR loop with a predefined flow
- the rotation of the actuating wheel 16 can continue, always in the same direction, until the metering flap 12 reaches a maximum open position to allow the exhaust gases to pass into the track 2 with a maximum flow.
- adjusting the degree of openness of the metering flap 12 is made by pivoting said metering flap 12 controlled by the actuating wheel 16, while the flap 10 remains in a closed position of the track 11.
- the wheel actuator 16 can be rotated in the opposite direction to adjust the open position of the metering shutter 12 by reducing the flow of gases in the track 2.
- the rotation of the actuating wheel 16 in the opposite direction, starting from the first configuration of the actuating device 15, allows according to the first phase to rotate simultaneously the switching flap 10, so that it comes in a shutter position of the channel 9, and the metering flap 12 so that it slightly opens up allowing an insignificant gas passage in the track 2.
- the switch flap 10 pivots in a direction which is opposite to that according to which it pivots in the example described with reference to the Figures 4a to 4e , to come close off the channel 11, while the metering flap 12 always pivots in the same direction as that in which it pivots in the example described with reference to the Figures 4a to 4e , in order to open slightly.
- the switch flap 10 reaches the shutter position of the channel 9.
- the actuating wheel 16 continues in the second phase its rotation in the same direction, to gradually open the metering flap 12 to regulate the passage of recirculated gases in the track 2, while maintaining the shutter 10 in its closed position of the track 9, thanks to the retaining piece 33 of the actuating wheel 16, against which the interface piece 26 comes into abutment.
- the opening of the metering flap 12 is effected by pivoting about its axis 13 of said flap 12, and allows the gases to enter the channel 2 with a predefined flow.
- the rotation of the actuating wheel 16 can continue, always in the same direction, until the metering flap 12 reaches a maximum open position to allow the exhaust gases to pass into the track 2 with a maximum flow.
- the adjustment of the degree of opening of the metering shutter 12 is effected by a pivoting of said metering shutter 12 controlled by the actuating wheel 16, while the switching flap 10 remains in a closed position of the track 9.
- the actuating wheel 16 can be rotated in the opposite direction to that which moves it from the first configuration to adjust the open position of the metering shutter 12 by reducing the flow of gases in the channel 2.

Description
L'invention se rapporte à une vanne, notamment à une vanne de contrôle moteur, dotée d'un volet de dosage et d'un volet d'aiguillage. Le volet de dosage est généralement apte à pivoter dans une conduite pour faire varier la section de passage des gaz, et le volet d'aiguillage est conçu pour pivoter entre une première position d'obturation d'une première voie et une deuxième position d'obturation d'une deuxième voie. Une telle vanne peut, par exemple, être placée dans une boucle de recirculation des gaz d'échappement (ci-après dénommée « boucle EGR » en référence à l'expression anglaise « Exhaust Gas Recirculation ») en aval d'un refroidisseur, le volet de dosage régulant le débit des gaz dans ladite boucle, et le volet d'aiguillage étant apte à obturer, soit une voie d'accès audit refroidisseur, soit un canal de dérivation contournant ce refroidisseur. La vanne peut comprendre un volet de dosage et un volet d'aiguillage pilotés par un mécanisme d'actionnement amélioré desdits volets.The invention relates to a valve, in particular to an engine control valve, provided with a metering flap and a switching flap. The metering flap is generally rotatable in a conduit for varying the gas flow section, and the switch flap is adapted to pivot between a first shutter position of a first port and a second port position. shutting a second lane. Such a valve may, for example, be placed in an exhaust gas recirculation loop (hereinafter referred to as "EGR loop" with reference to the expression " Exhaust Gas Recirculation") downstream of a cooler, the dosing flap regulating the flow of gas in said loop, and the shutter is adapted to shut off, either an access path to said cooler, or a bypass channel bypassing the cooler. The valve may comprise a metering flap and a switch flap controlled by an improved actuation mechanism of said flaps.
De telles vannes existent et ont déjà fait l'objet de brevets. On peut, par exemple, citer le brevet
Il existe un besoin pour bénéficier d'une vanne de mettant en oeuvre un volet de dosage et un volet d'aiguillage, aptes à être déplacés par un mécanisme d'actionnement commun, permettant de s'affranchir des inconvénients relevés dans l'état de la technique.There is a need to benefit from a valve for implementing a metering flap and a switching flap, able to be moved by a common actuating mechanism, making it possible to overcome the drawbacks noted in the state of operation. the technique.
L'invention a pour objet une vanne, notamment de contrôle moteur, comprenant :
- au moins trois voies débouchant dans un espace intérieur commun,
- un volet de dosage apte à pivoter dans une première voie pour faire varier la section de passage d'un fluide dans cette dernière,
- un volet d'aiguillage apte à pivoter entre une position d'obturation d'une deuxième voie et une position d'obturation d'une troisième voie,
- un dispositif d'actionnement commun des volets,
le dispositif d'actionnement présentant au moins une première configuration dans laquelle le volet de dosage est dans une position de référence dans la première voie et dans laquelle le volet d'aiguillage est dans une position intermédiaire dans laquelle il n'est ni en position d'obturation de la deuxième voie ni en position d'obturation de la troisième voie, et
le dispositif d'actionnement étant configuré pour que la rotation de la roue d'actionnement alors que le dispositif d'actionnement est dans la première configuration, conduise au pivotement du volet de dosage dans un seul et même sens de rotation à partir de sa position de référence, indépendamment du sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement.The subject of the invention is a valve, in particular an engine control valve, comprising:
- at least three ways leading into a common interior space,
- a metering flap able to pivot in a first way to vary the passage section of a fluid in the latter,
- a switching flap pivotable between a closed position of a second lane and a closed position of a third lane,
- a device for actuating the flaps,
the actuating device having at least a first configuration in which the metering flap is in a reference position in the first path and in which the switch flap is in an intermediate position in which it is neither in position d shutting off the second lane or in the closed position of the third lane, and
the actuating device being configured so that the rotation of the actuating wheel while the actuating device is in the first configuration, lead to the pivoting of the metering flap in one and the same direction of rotation from its position reference, regardless of the direction of rotation of the actuating wheel.
Autrement dit, quel que soit le sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement, à partir de la première configuration, le volet de dosage pivote toujours dans le même sens.In other words, regardless of the direction of rotation of the actuating wheel, from the first configuration, the metering flap always pivots in the same direction.
Une telle vanne présente un mécanisme d'étanchéité simplifié pour le volet de dosage. En effet, en tournant dans un seul sens, il n'y a plus qu'un sens de fermeture, et donc une seule étanchéité à gérer.Such a valve has a simplified sealing mechanism for the dosing flap. Indeed, turning in one direction, there is more than a sense of closure, and therefore a single seal to manage.
Une telle vanne n'a recours qu'à une seule roue d'actionnement pour faire pivoter les deux volets.Such a valve uses only one actuating wheel to rotate the two flaps.
La position de référence peut être une position dans laquelle le volet obture la première voie.The reference position may be a position in which the shutter closes the first channel.
Au sens de la présente demande, un volet obture une voie lorsqu'il empêche du fluide de parcourir cette voie.For the purposes of the present application, a shutter closes a path when it prevents fluid from traveling along this path.
En variante, la position de référence peut être une position dans laquelle le volet est en position de pleine ouverture de la première voie.Alternatively, the reference position may be a position in which the flap is in the fully open position of the first channel.
La position de référence peut ainsi être une position dans laquelle la section de passage du fluide dans la première voie est maximale ou minimale.The reference position can thus be a position in which the section of passage of the fluid in the first channel is maximum or minimum.
Le dispositif d'actionnement peut être configuré pour que la rotation de la roue d'actionnement alors que le dispositif d'actionnement est dans la première configuration conduise :
- selon une première phase à un pivotement important du volet d'aiguillage alors que le volet de dosage n'est soumis qu'à un faible pivotement, et
- selon une deuxième phase ultérieure à la première phase au pivotement du volet de dosage pour modifier la section de passage du fluide dans la première voie sans que la position du volet d'aiguillage ne soit modifiée.
- in a first phase with a large pivoting of the switch flap while the metering flap is subject to a small pivoting, and
- in a second phase subsequent to the first phase of pivoting of the metering flap to change the fluid passage section in the first channel without the position of the switch flap is changed.
La roue d'actionnement peut pivoter, pendant la deuxième phase, dans le même sens de rotation que lors de la première phase qui la précède directement.The actuating wheel can rotate, in the second phase, in the same direction of rotation as in the first phase immediately preceding it.
Autrement dit, dans une première phase, lorsque le volet d'aiguillage pivote depuis la première configuration vers une position d'obturation, le volet de dosage n'est soumis qu'à un faible pivotement, à partir d'une position de référence. De cette manière, le volet de dosage demeure dans une position proche de la position de référence ce qui ne modifie pratiquement pas la section de passage du fluide dans la première voie, lorsque le volet d'aiguillage pivote pour atteindre une position d'obturation. Dans une deuxième phase, la roue d'actionnement poursuit alors sa rotation dans le même sens, cette poursuite de la rotation permettant la régulation du fluide dans la première voie sans empêcher que le volet d'aiguillage ne reste dans la position d'obturation qu'il a atteinte.In other words, in a first phase, when the switch flap pivots from the first configuration to a closed position, the metering flap is only subject to slight pivoting, starting from a reference position. In this way, the dosing flap remains in a position close to the reference position which does not substantially modify the fluid passage section in the first channel, when the switch flap pivots to reach a closed position. In a second phase, the actuating wheel then continues to rotate in the same direction, this continuation of the rotation allowing the fluid to be regulated in the first channel without preventing the switch flap from remaining in the closed position he has reached.
Préférentiellement, le dispositif d'actionnement peut être configuré pour que la rotation de la roue d'actionnement alors que le dispositif d'actionnement est dans la première configuration conduise :
- dans un premier sens de rotation au pivotement du volet d'aiguillage jusqu'à la position d'obturation de la deuxième voie, et
- dans un deuxième sens de rotation au pivotement du volet d'aiguillage jusqu'à la position d'obturation de la troisième voie.
- in a first direction of rotation pivoting the switch flap to the closed position of the second channel, and
- in a second direction of rotation pivoting the switch flap to the closed position of the third channel.
Avantageusement, le dispositif d'actionnement peut être apte à maintenir le volet d'aiguillage dans l'une ou l'autre des positions d'obturation de la deuxième ou troisième voie alors que la roue d'actionnement poursuit un mouvement de rotation unidirectionnel depuis la première configuration.Advantageously, the actuating device may be able to hold the shutter in one or the other of the shutter positions of the second or third track while the actuating wheel continues a unidirectional rotation movement from the first configuration.
En d'autres termes, dès lors que le volet d'aiguillage arrive dans une position d'obturation de la deuxième ou troisième voie, la roue d'actionnement peut continuer le mouvement de rotation dans le même sens qu'elle avait pour amener le volet d'aiguillage dans ladite position d'obturation. La poursuite de ce mouvement de rotation n'empêche pas le maintien du volet d'aiguillage en position d'obturation.In other words, as soon as the switching flap reaches a closed position of the second or third track, the actuating wheel can continue the rotation movement in the same direction as it had to bring the switch flap in said closed position. The continuation of this rotational movement does not prevent the maintenance of the shutter shutter in the closed position.
Par exemple, en partant de la première configuration et par une rotation de la roue d'actionnement dans un premier sens de rotation, le dispositif d'actionnement peut,
- dans une première phase, permettre de simultanément faire pivoter le volet d'aiguillage jusqu'à une position d'obturation de la deuxième voie et faire pivoter d'une faible amplitude le volet de dosage dans un sens de rotation prédéterminé, et
- dans une deuxième phase ultérieure, et pour le même sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement que dans la première phase précédente, maintenir le volet d'aiguillage dans la position d'obturation atteinte, et faire pivoter le volet de dosage dans le sens de rotation prédéterminé pour régler la section de passage du fluide dans la première voie.
- in a first phase, allow to simultaneously rotate the switch flap to a closed position of the second channel and rotate a small amplitude of the metering flap in a predetermined direction of rotation, and
- in a second subsequent phase, and for the same direction of rotation of the actuating wheel as in the previous first phase, keeping the shutter flap in the closed position, and rotating the metering flap in the direction predetermined rotation to adjust the fluid passage section in the first channel.
Dans le même exemple, en partant de la première configuration et par une rotation de la roue d'actionnement dans un deuxième sens de rotation opposé au premier sens, le dispositif d'actionnement peut,
- dans une première phase, permettre de simultanément faire pivoter le volet d'aiguillage jusqu'à une position d'obturation de la troisième voie et faire pivoter d'une faible amplitude le volet de dosage dans le sens de rotation prédéterminé, et
- dans une deuxième phase ultérieure, et pour le même sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement que dans la première phase précédente, maintenir le volet d'aiguillage dans la position d'obturation atteinte, et faire pivoter le volet de dosage dans le sens de rotation prédéterminé pour régler la section de passage du fluide dans la première voie.
- in a first phase, allow to simultaneously rotate the switch flap to a closed position of the third channel and rotate a small amplitude of the metering flap in the predetermined direction of rotation, and
- in a second subsequent phase, and for the same direction of rotation of the actuating wheel as in the previous first phase, keeping the shutter flap in the closed position, and rotating the metering flap in the direction predetermined rotation to adjust the fluid passage section in the first channel.
Avantageusement, le dispositif d'actionnement peut comprendre un système d'actionnement du volet d'aiguillage, ledit système d'actionnement comprenant une pièce de guidage et une pièce d'interface, la roue d'actionnement étant rigidement couplée à la pièce de guidage et le volet d'aiguillage étant rigidement couplé à la pièce d'interface, la pièce de guidage coopérant avec la pièce d'interface pour faire pivoter le volet d'aiguillage.Advantageously, the actuating device may comprise an actuating system of the switching flap, said actuating system comprising a guide piece and an interface piece, the actuating wheel being rigidly coupled to the guide piece. and the switch flap being rigidly coupled to the interface piece, the guide piece cooperating with the interface piece to rotate the switch flap.

Préférentiellement, l'organe de guidage du système d'actionnement du volet de dosage peut comprendre un premier levier et un deuxième levier articulés en rotation entre eux, via une extrémité commune, le premier levier comprenant une autre extrémité coopérant par un premier point de pivot avec la roue d'actionnement et le deuxième levier comprenant une autre extrémité coopérant par un deuxième point de pivot avec la pièce d'interface du système d'actionnement du volet de dosage. L'effet d'un tel organe de guidage est de jouer le rôle d'un système bielle-manivelle permettant le pivotement du volet de dosage dans le même sens de rotation en partant de sa position d'obturation de la première voie, quel que soit le sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement.Preferably, the guiding member of the actuating system of the metering flap may comprise a first lever and a second lever articulated in rotation between them, via a common end, the first lever comprising another end cooperating with a first pivot point with the actuating wheel and the second lever comprising another end cooperating with a second pivot point with the interface part of the actuating system of the metering flap. The effect of such a guiding member is to play the role of a connecting rod-crank system for pivoting the metering flap in the same direction of rotation from its closed position of the first channel, whatever the direction of rotation of the actuating wheel.
Le dispositif d'actionnement étant dans la première configuration, les premier et deuxième leviers peuvent être alignés selon leur axe longitudinal.Since the actuating device is in the first configuration, the first and second levers can be aligned along their longitudinal axis.

Par exemple, la première zone et la deuxième zone peuvent avoir des positions radiales différentes et/ou des positions angulaires différentes, et/ou dans le cas où la roue d'actionnement présente deux faces opposées parallèles, être positionnées sur des faces différentes de ladite roue.For example, the first zone and the second zone may have different radial positions and / or different angular positions, and / or in the case where the actuating wheel has two parallel opposite faces, be positioned on different faces of said wheel.
Selon un premier exemple de réalisation, la pièce d'interface du système d'actionnement du volet d'aiguillage peut être configurée pour définir un chemin de guidage de la pièce de guidage avec laquelle elle coopère.According to a first exemplary embodiment, the interface piece of the actuating system of the switching flap can be configured to define a guide path of the guide piece with which it cooperates.

- un pivotement du volet d'aiguillage, pour respectivement atteindre -30°
ou 30°.
- a pivoting of the
dosing flap 12 always in the same direction and marked by a positive maximum angular position of about 75 °, - pivoting of the switch flap, to respectively -30 ° or 30 °.
Autrement dit, quel que soit le sens de rotation de la roue 16 à partir de la position de référence, le volet de dosage 12 pivote toujours dans le même sens avec une amplitude voisine de 75° à partir de la position dans laquelle il obture la voie 2 et le volet d'aiguillage 10 pivote dans un premier sens ou dans un deuxième sens, pour obturer l'une ou l'autre des voies 9 et 11.In other words, regardless of the direction of rotation of the
Toujours à partir de la première configuration du dispositif d'actionnement 15, et selon une première phase, c'est à dire pour un passage de la roue d'actionnement d'une position angulaire de 0° à une position angulaire d'environ 60° ou -60° :
- la courbe 62 passe d'une position angulaire de 0° à
environ 10°, quelque soit le sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement, - la courbe 60 passe d'une position angulaire de 0° à
environ 30° ou -30° en fonction du sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement.
- the
curve 62 passes from an angular position of 0 ° to approximately 10 °, regardless of the direction of rotation of the actuating wheel, - the
curve 60 passes from an angular position of 0 ° to about 30 ° or -30 ° depending on the direction of rotation of the actuating wheel.
Selon une deuxième phase, c'est-à-dire pour un passage de la roue d'actionnement d'une position angulaire d'environ 60° à environ 172° ou d'une position angulaire d'environ -60° à environ -130°,
- la courbe 62 passe d'une position angulaire d'environ 10° à environ 75°, quelque soit le sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement,
- la courbe 60 reste à une valeur d'environ 30° ou -30° selon le sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement.
- the
curve 62 passes from an angular position of about 10 ° to about 75 °, regardless of the direction of rotation of the actuating wheel, - the
curve 60 remains at a value of about 30 ° or -30 ° according to the direction of rotation of the actuating wheel.
Ainsi en partant de la première configuration du dispositif d'actionnement 15, une rotation selon un premier sens de la roue d'actionnement 16 jusqu'à 60° entraine selon la première phase, d'une part, une variation angulaire de 0° à -30° du volet d'aiguillage 10 traduisant un pivotement dans un sens pour passer d'une position d'ouverture à une position d'obturation de l'une des deux voies 9,11, et d'autre part, à une variation angulaire de 0° à environ 10° du volet de dosage 12 pour permettre une ouverture minimale dudit volet 12 sans passage significatif de gaz. Autrement dit, le volet de dosage 12 demeure dans une position de quasi fermeture sur cette plage angulaire de la roue d'actionnement 16. Selon la deuxième phase, lorsque la rotation de la roue d'actionnement 16 se poursuit dans le premier sens pour atteindre 172°, le volet d'aiguillage 10 demeure figé dans une position angulaire de -30° traduisant son maintien dans la position d'obturation qu'il a atteinte, alors que la position angulaire du volet de dosage 12 varie de 10° à 75°, traduisant une ouverture progressive dudit volet 12 jusqu'à atteindre une position d'ouverture maximale.Thus starting from the first configuration of the
Toujours à partir de la première configuration du dispositif d'actionnement 15, une rotation dans un deuxième sens opposé au premier sens de la roue d'actionnement 16 jusqu'à -60°, fait pivoter le volet d'aiguillage 10 d'une position à 0° à une position à 30°, correspondant au passage d'une position d'ouverture à une position d'obturation de l'autre voie 9,11, et à un pivotement d'une position à 0° à une position à environ 10° du volet de dosage 12 pour permettre une ouverture minimale dudit volet 12 sans passage significatif de gaz. Autrement dit, par rapport à ce qui a été observé précédemment lorsque la roue d'actionnement 16 tournait dans le premier sens le volet d'aiguillage 10 effectue un pivotement dans le premier sens pour venir obturer l'autre voie 9,11 tandis que le volet de dosage 12 pivote lui aussi dans le premier sens pour s'entrouvrir. Lorsque la rotation de la roue d'actionnement 16 se poursuit dans le deuxième sens pour atteindre - 130°, le volet d'aiguillage 10 demeure figé dans une position angulaire de 30° traduisant son maintien dans la position d'obturation qu'il a atteinte, alors que la position angulaire du volet de dosage 12 varie de 10° à 75°, traduisant une ouverture progressive dudit volet 12 jusqu'à atteindre une position d'ouverture maximale.Still from the first configuration of the

Le levier 24 comprend une autre extrémité coopérant avec la roue d'actionnement 16 et l'autre levier 22 comprend une autre extrémité coopérant avec la manivelle 21 du système d'actionnement du volet de dosage.The guide member of the actuating system of the metering flap here comprises two
Une rotation de la roue d'actionnement 16 peut ainsi entrainer en rotation le levier 24. Le levier 22 est ici une tige rigide. La roue d'actionnement 16, le levier 22, la manivelle 21, le levier 24 et le volet de dosage 12 sont placés dans l'espace et sont agencés les uns par rapport aux autres, de telle manière que la mise en rotation de la roue d'actionnement 16, à partir de ladite position de référence, dans un sens ou dans l'autre, provoque par l'intermédiaire du levier 22, un pivotement du volet de dosage 12 toujours dans le même sens.A rotation of the

Ainsi, quel que soit le sens de rotation de la roue d'actionnement 16 à partir de la position de référence, la manivelle 21, donc le volet de dosage 12, pivote dans le même sens de rotation, en l'occurrence, le sens matérialisé par la flèche 23 aux

Sur ces figures, le système d'actionnement du volet de dosage 12 est représenté de la même manière que sur les
Le volet d'aiguillage 10 est mû en rotation au moyen d'un mécanisme de type « croix de malte », dont le principe repose sur une mise en rotation discontinue d'un objet en forme de croix de malte au moyen d'une rotation continue d'une pièce motrice interagissant avec ledit objet. Dans le cadre de l'invention, l'objet en forme de croix de malte est une pièce d'interface 26, qui a été solidarisée au volet 10. Cette pièce d'interface 26 comprend deux bras parallèles 27 ménageant entre eux une rainure 28 définissant un chemin de guidage, comme on le verra par la suite, et deux excroissances latérales 29, chacune desdites excroissances 29 étant placée de chaque coté de l'axe longitudinal de la rainure 28.The switching
Un bras 27 et une excroissance 29 placés du même coté par rapport à l'axe longitudinal de la rainure 28 sont reliés l'un à l'autre par une surface en arc de cercle 30. La pièce d'interface 26 dispose d'une embase 31 alignée sur l'axe longitudinal de la rainure 28, l'axe reliant les deux excroissances 29 séparant ladite embase 31 et les deux bras 27. De cette manière, chaque bras 27 possède une extrémité implantée dans l'embase 31, et une autre extrémité qui est libre. Le volet 10 possède un axe de rotation 14 lui permettant de pivoter entre les deux positions d'obturation des deux voies 9,11, la pièce d'interface 26 étant rigidement fixée à une extrémité du volet 10 par l'intermédiaire de ladite embase 31. Plus précisément, la pièce d'interface 26 est fixée au volet 10 de manière à ce que l'embase 31 de la pièce d'interface 26 soit traversée par l'axe de rotation 14 du volet 10. Ainsi, la mise en rotation de la pièce d'interface 26 entraine simultanément la rotation du volet 10 autour de son axe de rotation 14 avec le même angle.An
Outre la pièce d'interface 26, le système d'actionnement du volet d'aiguillage 10 comprend une pièce 32 de guidage, ici un ergot rapporté sur la roue d'actionnement 16 et sur lequel coopère dans l'exemple décrit un roulement à billes. L'ergot 32 est par exemple cylindrique et placé en périphérie et émerge du plan de la roue d'actionnement 16 selon une direction perpendiculaire.In addition to the
Le système d'actionnement du volet d'aiguillage 10 comprend encore une pièce 33 de maintien qui est ici une fraction d'une autre roue coaxiale avec la roue d'actionnement 16, et solidaire de celle-ci. Cette autre roue 33 est disposée dans la zone centrale de la roue d'actionnement 16. L'autre roue 33 émerge du plan de la roue 16 selon une direction perpendiculaire, et créé ainsi une surépaisseur. La section transversale de l'autre roue 33, qui est perpendiculaire à son axe de rotation, présente un contour circulaire sur plus de la moitié de sa circonférence, ainsi qu'un évidement délimité par un tronçon incurvé reliant le contour circulaire partiel pour fermer ladite section.The actuating system of the
